Title on HN:

title should be changed. Did Guardian update it at their end?

You can tell " UK to hand over Chagos back to Mauritius" isn't a Guardian title -- no spelling mistakes.

My bad, I got excited. I can't edit the title though.

As long as we're being pedantic: "hand over X back to" is mixing phrases -- are they handing it over or handing it back? It should be "hand X over to" or "hand X back to"
